What would Brian Bevan say

As Wire get ready for action with no spectators, Area 51 takes a look at Warrington attendances. Steve Price moves away from his ‘resilience’ saying to his new quote of ‘versatility’, but are the Wolves fringe players as versatile as the Swiss Army knife? Meanwhile over the alpine border it’s the sharpness of a French cutting-edge commentator that tops the vote, as the podcast also votes on Daniel’s date night. Dennis gives Rob an elocution lesson on how to pronounce Osdal to improve his vocal range, as a pissed-up Sam hangs out at The Grange. And, an overweight referee pops into the RL museum whilst his mother’s at the chiropodist. Enjoy

This week, the Podcast rewrites the Wire kickers’ record books, following the application of the Magnus Effect and kinetic energy. Dennis’ Tacklebags’ new Rugby ball invention is far from a drag. Sam’s eyes water after hearing an anagram of Danny Walker. And can Rob perfect his Brian Cox impersonation before the podcast tracks down Warrington’s Greek winger Pheidippides on the Island of Lesbos? Plus, during an on-air tiff, the podcasters fall out over Toronto. Enjoy.

As the podcast converts to Rugby Union, can Wire convert to a 58% winning ratio in their home, away or neutral bids?  Dennis seeks planning permission on Saddleworth Moor for the new RL Superdome. Sam relives a 38,000ft sexual encounter with Henry Fa'afili, before Chris Hill drops by Rimmer’s Lot where there’s a sticky situation. And Rob reads a Lockdown Letter from a Barbie fan who’s the niece of a West German tank driver. Plus, not forgetting the Hezbollah and Clare Balding. Enjoy

To scrum or not to scrum, that is the question. Yes, the podcast goes in search of the phantom Super League scientific paper, as well as Andrew Johns’ file, held in Area 51. Rob details Barbie’s extensive vehicle portfolio from 1962 to 1990, Dennis’ tackle bags ‘snatches’ a pay-as-you-play scheme, and Sam can’t get enough of a bare-chested Luther. Rimmer’s Lot is back with aristocracy visiting the museum. And as the podcast misses out at the National Podcast awards in all 12 categories, tensions run high. Enjoy.

The podcast brings you a parodic sitcom set at the new national RL museum, entitled ‘Rimmer’s Lot’. And following on from the Greg Inglis scoop, the lads discuss just what he was cooking in his microwave. Sam’s shitistics analyse how much you should pay for a good hooker, which easily converts to Amsterdam red light currency. Dennis’ tackle bags has the leading sports trainer manufacturers queuing up to patent his invention, and Rob reads out a contentious lockdown letter requesting for the removal of Brian’s statue! Plus, knob gags aplenty, along with Gardeners’ Question Time. Enjoy.

What would Brian Bevan say presents a podcast exclusive, as we are privileged to be joined by footballing genius, Greg Inglis. We hear about Greg's proud Indigenous heritage and how his youth turned him into the skilful player we see today. He reminisces about his time with Melbourne and the Bunnies, and explains why he is ready to continue his Rugby League journey at the Halliwell Jones. We discuss players, family and the Inglis's connection with Kempsey's cricketing superstar Phil Hughes.  What comes across in this revealing interview is that Greg Inglis is a sensitive man, whose passion for his local community has led to his new charity, but on the football field Greg's alter ego GI, now rested and recuperated, is fit and ready to go. Super League and Warrington Wolves, watch out!

This week’s guest Daniel, from I’ve Got A Loose Wire, educates the podcast on the hobby of blogging. Sam’s shitistics take aim at Wire coaches, but is there a coach with the capacity to take 60 pensioners to watch Arthur Askey? A player’s Instagram profile leads to a standoff between young and old, and Dennis’ new interactive referees' top, comes with a confusing dry clean only warning. A Green Party canvasser takes the full brunt of the remains of a Welsh prop forward’s breakfast. And, can Madame Boyd help Rob make contact with Greg Inglis to invite him on Wednesday’s show? Enjoy.

Dave Birch, commentator for Warrington Hospital Radio, is this week’s guest. We find out from Dave what it takes to commentate on the Wire, but more importantly, which player he was attracted to that wore denim shorts on cold Sunday evenings. ITV Presenter Davina McCall goes on a search for Steve Price in a special episode of Long Lost Tactics. Sam decides to read out the Wire props’ Tinder profiles to determine who’s the best catch, but it’s an ex-Wolves beefcake with a love of fishing who’s catching a Podcast de-bait. We evaluate how many Adrian Morleys make up a Great White, along with scientifically scrummaging for the Covid head n feed. Dennis decides he’ll go into PR and make over the Super League refs. And there’s a blockbuster finish with Rob reading out the What Bevan political correctness statement.

As the vertical green and red stripes win the club’s top of the tops, the ley lines are drawn in this week's podcast by determining statistically which Wire wingers are the best - but there's only one speedster that aligns with a podcaster's erection. Sam takes a confusing look at the salary cap without a caveat of VAT. Following a fan's lockdown letter sent from the Channel Islands, Rob refuses to take a DNA test. Dennis recycles more tackle bag ideas, but it's a Wolves' centre that cycles off track to a King’s ransom. And are we about to enter into a Super League merry-go-round of second rowers?

The Rugby coach Steve Anderson served a terrific apprenticeship in the heartland of Queensland Rugby League, before an incredible coaching journey took him to the newly-formed team, the Western Reds. With the Super League war in full swing, Steve would then help create the Melbourne Storm. After the Storm made history by winning their first grand final, Steve would go one step further and become assistant coach during the Australian Kangaroos’ victory at the 2000 World Cup. But during celebratory drinks, Steve would accept an offer to join the staff at Leeds. And then in 2001, he was appointed Head Coach of the Warrington Wolves. When Steve arrived at the Wire it seemed the perfect match. But what went wrong? Why did he last only 14 games in charge? And were the Wolves only a week away from Moran’s first big cheque buying an Australian test centre? What would Brian Bevan say podcast, in conversation with Steve, unravels the myths to find the truth. Did he really stand a chance with a poorly ventilated en suite toilet, a fancy leisure club, a hostile local press, a drinking culture, and a group of players who were not willing to buy in, against a board of directors looking to buy out? In an open and honest interview, Steve is the first to admit where he went wrong. But nearly 20 years on, is the truth actually that the  Ando RL methodology was too forward-thinking for Wilderspool, and would it all have been different had he taken the reins at the HJ? The interview will open your eyes. Enjoy
